A year and a half after meeting at a New Year’s Eve party, Kermit proposed to Janet in Paris. Their wedding will be outdoors in June, at his family’s house in Westchester. The evening’s vibe: “Let’s call it ‘English country,’” says Janet. “And we may have a gypsy guitarist play during the cocktail hour.”

His Signature Cocktail

Adam’s Apple

Applejack, Pimento dram, apple cider, orange bitters, apple slice
